FIRST UP FOR THEATERS THIS WEEK IS SNATCHED STARRING AMY SCHUMER ABOUT A GIRL WHOSE BOYFRIEND BREAKS UP WITH HER AND SHE HAS A NON-REFUNDABLE TRIP TO SOUTH AMERICA, SO SHE TAKES HER MOTHER, PLAYED BY GOLDIE HAHN, AND HIJINKS ENSUE. APPARENTLY THEY GET KIDNAPPED AND IT'S AN ACTION COMEDY, SO IT SOUNDS VERY WEIRD BUT IT LOOKS PRETTY FUNNY. IKE BARINHOLTZ IS ALSO IN IT. HE PLAYS HER BROTHER WHO'S TRYING TO WORK WITH THE D-O-J TO GET THEM BACK. STATE DEPARTMENT. MY MOM AND SISTER. THEY'VE BEEN TAKEN. I IMAGINE YOU HAVE A COMMANDO SQUAD. FOUR UNDERGROUND CRIMINALS WHO WERE TRIED FOR A CRIME THEY DIDN'T COMMIT. SOUNDS LIKE THE A-TEAM. IT IS THE A-TEAM. DO YOU HAVE AN A-TEAM? IF YOU KNOW WHO AMY SCHUMER IS, YOU CAN PROBABLY EXPECT THE SAME SORT OF COMEDY FROM HER. THE PREVIEW DOESN'T LOOK ANY DIFFERENT. I'M REALLY MORE EXCITED ABOUT THE GUEST STARS IN IT. SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A DECENT ACTION COMEDY TO START THE SUMMER OFF, I'D RECOMMEND SNATCHED. THE ONLY OTHER BIG RELEASE THIS WEEK IS KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD STARRING CHARLIE HUNNAM AND JUDE LAW. THE FILM IS DIRECTED BY GUY RITCHIE, WHO YOU'LL RECOGNIZE HIS WORKS FOR SNATCH, LOCK STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS OR THE SHERLOCK HOLMES' STARRING ROBERT DOWNEY JR. HE'S A VERY STYLISH DIRECTOR, YOU CAN TELL IT FROM THE PREVIEWS. HE'S JUST GOT HIS OWN WAY OF DOING THINGS. HONESTLY, HE'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE DIRECTORS. HE'S VERY KINETIC AND THIS SEEMS LIKE IT WILL BE A VERY FUN ACTION MOVIE. CHARLIE HUNNAM, OF COURSE, STARS AS KING ARTHUR. THE MOVIE FOLLOWS HIM AS HE FINDS THE SWORD EXCALIBUR, PULLS IT FROM THE STONE - THE CLASSIC BEGINNING OF THE STORY - AND GOES ON TO ACCEPT HIS FATE. JUDE LAW PLAYS THE VILLAIN VORTIGERN BASICALLY HE PLAYS AN EVIL SORCERER, UNCLE-TYPE THING. HE HAS A HISTORY WITH KING ARTHUR AND JUDE LAW JUST LOOKS LIKE HE'S HAVING SO MUCH FUN BEING EVIL. THE SUPPORTING CAST IS PRETTY SOLID. YOU'VE GOT DJIMON HOUNSOU PLAYING SIR BEDIVERE. YOU'LL RECOGNIZE HIM AS THE FELLOW SLAVE WITH MAXIMUS IN GLADIATOR. SO YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A REALLY JUST FUN, FANTASY ACTION FLICK TO START OFF YOUR SUMMER AND KICK THINGS OFF RIGHT, GO SEE KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD. HONESTLY, I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR IT. IT JUST LOOKS LIKE A LOAD OF FUN. SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW? WELL YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NOW. SO THAT'S IT FOR THEATERS THIS WEEK. YOU'VE GOT AN ACTION COMEDY AND YOU HAVE A FANTASY ACTION TO CHOOSE FROM, AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THE HOLDOVERS SUCH AS THE CIRCLE AND OF COURSE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 2 CAME OUT LAST WEEK. THERE'S A LOT OF ACTION OUT RIGHT NOW. NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE THEATERS THIS WEEKEND AND YOU JUST WANT TO STAY AT HOME, THERE IS ONE BIG BLU RAY RELEASE THIS WEEK AND IT IS FIFTY SHADES DARKER. I DON'T REALLY HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT. IT'S THE SEQUEL TO THE FIRST ONE. DAKOTA JOHNSON AND JAMIE DORNAN ARE BACK AS THE LEADS. IF YOU'RE PICKING THIS UP, YOU KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT, SO I DON'T REALLY HAVE TO GO INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL ON THAT. SINCE THERE WASN'T A WHOLE LOT COMING OUT ON BLU RAY LAST WEEK, I DECIDED TO THROW ONE IN FROM LAST YEAR THAT I AM JUST SHOCKED BEYOND BELIEF DID NOT GET MORE RECOGNITION AND THAT MOVIE IS A MONSTER CALLS. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I THINK THAT CAME OUT LAST YEAR AND IT WAS A GREAT FIELD, AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY NOBODY REALLY TALKED ABOUT IT. THE FILM STARS FELICITY JONES, SIGOURNEY WEAVER AND LIAM NEESON, WHO PLAYS THE CGI CHARACTER OF THE MONSTER. IT'S AN EXCELLENT MOVIE. IT'S ABOUT A KID WHO'S DEALING WITH HIS MOM, WHO HAS CANCER, AND THIS MONSTER COMES AND TALKS TO HIM AND HE SAYS YOU TELL ME, OR I'LL TELL YOU THREE- THE MONSTER SAYS I WILL TELL YOU THREE STORIES AND YOU TELL ME THE FOURTH, WHICH IS THE STORY OF A NIGHTMARE THE KID'S BEEN HAVING. IT'S VERY MUCH A DRAMATIC COMING OF AGE STORY, IT'S VERY TOUCHING. THE ART DIRECTION IN IT IS FLAWLESS, I MEAN, YOU CAN'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS. AGAIN I'M FLUSTERED, OR I HAVE NO IDEA WHY NOBODY REALLY TALKED ABOUT THIS MOVIE. SO IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE, I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES NOW. TOP TEN AT LEAST. SO CHECK THAT OUT IF YOU WANT A REALLY GOOD C-G-I EXTRAVAGANZA WITH A REALLY STRONG, HEARTFELT STORY THAT PRETTY MUCH ANYONE CAN CONNECT TO. IT'S VERY MUCH A STORY OF LOSS, BUT ALSO A STORY OF HOPE. AND AGAIN TO CLOSE THINGS OUT, I'LL GIVE YOU GUYS A TRAILER THAT DROPPED RECENTLY. THE BLADE RUNNER 2049 OFFICIAL TRAILER, NOT JUST THE TEASER, BUT THE OFFICIAL TRAILER DROPPED RECENTLY AND IT LOOKS GORGEOUS. IT'S DIRECTED BY DENIS VILLENEUVE, WHO DID SICARIO AND ARRIVAL, AND I MEAN ARRIVAL WAS A SCI-FI MASTERPIECE IN MY OPINION, SO I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR THIS. OF COURSE IT STARS HARRISON FORD AS DECKARD AND RYAN GOSLING AS THE NEW MALE LEAD. WHAT DO YOU WANT? I WANT TO ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS. AND STRANGELY ENOUGH, I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE JARED LETO. I MISSED THAT SOMEHOW THAT HE HAD BEEN CAST IN IT. SO IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD. HONESTLY I CAN'T TELL A WHOLE LOT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT THAT'S GOOD BECAUSE I LOVE THE MYSTERY WHEN I GO SEE A MOVIE. SO THAT'S IT FOR THIS WEEK, EVERYONE. CHECK IN EVERY WEEK ON WCBI DOT COM UNDER THE NEWS 4 US TAB TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR NEWS DEPARTMENT AND ALSO TO SEE WHAT'S COMING OUT IN THEATERS AND ON BLU RAY EVERY WEEK. I'M EVAN FOX AND THIS HAS BEEN YOUR MIDWEEK MOVIE PREVIEW.
